Muslim woman demands an apology from Obama after camera snub
Source: freep.com
One of two Muslim women who were denied visible seats behind Barack Obama’s stage at Joe Louis Arena on Monday because they wore head scarves said they deserve a personal apology from Obama and close-up seats at a future campaign rally.
Hebba Aref, 25, and her friend, Shimaa Abdelfadeel, received apologies from the campaign Tuesday after they complained that they were not allowed to sit near the podium when campaign volunteers learned that they wear the traditional Muslim head garb called a hijab.
“I was kind of in shock that had happened,” said Aref, a Bloomfield Hills resident and graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. “I’ve lived here practically my whole life, and never been treated that way. It’s so ironic that it was at his rally, he obviously would not promote any discrimination at all.”
Aref said she received a phone call and apology from an Obama campaign offiicial, but said that’s not enough.
“I do appreciate they’re taking the time to look into what happened,” Aref said. “I think it’s a huge deal. I was hoping for an apology from Sen. Obama himself. He needs to send a strong message this kind of discrimination won’t be tolerated.”
CAIR Urges Obama to Include Muslim Women in Upcoming Events
source: CAIR
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged Sen. Barack Obama to invite two Muslim women, who were barred from sitting behind the podium at a Michigan rally, to an upcoming campaign event.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
CAIR just could not resist. LOL ….getting involved.
Hiding his Muslim supporters again? my oh my. haha
He has so damned many skeletons, lies, crimes, mistakes, Marxist beliefs, Terrorist friends and ties —— that he is CONSTANTLY dealing with his own “bimbo eruptions”.
Just waiting for incoming from Obama like maybe……“Those are not the Obama volunteers I knew. Get that bus over here, now!”
Ironic WT that I never saw Hawaiian Island babes in grass skirts holding “Hawaiian Asians For Hirohito” after December 7, 1941… Aloha Obama!
LOL!!Obama is so worried Americans will think he is muslim– Yesterday on the view(YUCK!) I watched because Michelle was getting free campaign time for her husband for an hour- Doing the “hand bump” with everyone-Which was then all over the news!!(AGAIN) How dumb!! Anyway they did a cooking segment about breakfast- Michelle said “we like bacon”! the nutrionist was telling her to try soy bacon or turkey bacon because it was better for you – Anyway the short black woman on the show – don’t know her name- “Says bring on the Pork! — bring on the pork! — we want real bacon”–so fake, obvious set up!! And a slap in the face to his muslim supporters!! LOL Go Michelle!
His inauguration photos will look like a Saudi wedding party.
And, wait a minute. Where do Muslim women get off demanding an apology from a MAN?
Darth, yessss and that shows even more too how the world has changed. This baloney would never have been able to happen back, way back then before most of us were born. Even when we were kids it was still not like it is today. It is so sad.
Cheryl, LOL soooo funny. Thanks for sharing about that.
LMAO
Rhod yes good point. Isn’t that weird, they are less then dogs so how can they be so complaining about this. Very weird.
Got to give it to CAIR they are your Equal Opportunity Backstabber.
But what is the bigger picture here. Women with head scarves Not allowed to sit behind him. Two things come to mind, quickly. 1. Association with Moslems not wanting to point to that to soon. and 2. Don’t moslem males not want Women directly behind them.
On the other hand, with a middle name like Hussein, wouldn’t this be a double entendre. Don’t use my middle name, er…Just yet, and no women behind me.
Rhod has a good point since when do Moslem Women, have any rights, and since when does CAIR even care about moslem women’s rights. They said nothing when a father murdered (honor killing) his two daughters in Texas.
Obama is serious trouble for the U.S.
Instead of demanding an apology from Barack Hussein Obama these women should demand that Michelle Obama wear a hijab at future campaign events.
Of what could have been. In 2004, George Allan Jr. went to Chicago to talk to a prospective Candidate for the Senate.
At this time Obama was another small fry in the Chicago power machine, hoping for a chance to win a Senate seat. He had nothing going for him, no name, nobody knew him, except the South side ghetto dwellers where he earned his ‘cred’ and that was it.
The republicans had a chance to get a big Chicago Name on the ticket, the Monsters of the Midway, ‘Da ah Bears’ own Coach, Mike Ditka. If there is anything in Chicago that is really untouchable it is ‘Da Bears’. George Allan Sr. was an assistant coach for George Halas’ Bears in 1961, when Ditka was drafted, hence the Allan connection. Is there any question who would have won?
Alas, Ditka decided not to run, for whatever reason and this is how we inherited Hussein ‘Big Ears’ Obama.
It is only speculation on my part what the Senate would be like with Iron Mike representing Illonois, but also for his decision not to run it its Ditkas fault we now have …whathisname.
“Gimme some skin yo…high five ….hand bump and bust a sag yo… BET Up yo?” Let me deliver some high fives: FIVE JDAMS over Tehran!
Arnold the Pig and Miss Piggy for McCain. KFC’s Colonel Lingus Sanders say’s “Soy and tofu suck….”
Mark, thanks that is interesting and I agree he would have won for sure.
Les, hahaha that would be a good one if that happened.
Mark, yes, CAIR as far as I remember has never stepped in about honor killings. What a horrible pro terrorist group they are.
Darth, heh heh they sure would hate that pig. haha
